Letter: Praise for South Portland's stand for air quality

A longtime resident of South Portland, I am writing to praise the hard work, integrity, and courage of the city of South Portland – its city councillors, its staff, and its citizens – in addressing the urgent quality-of-life issues we face in our city. In this case, the issue is protecting the quality of the air we breathe.

I commend the city for supporting the Clear Skies Ordinance, and for seeking outstanding, experienced legal representation to defend this ordinance in court. Thank you for this courageous act.
